Chapter 7: Notation and Printing
143
Transpose
The Transpose setting lets you adjust the Notation window to display notes either higher or lower than their actual
pitches. It includes presets for commonly transposed instruments. For example, if you select Guitar +12 and the
guitar music will be displayed an octave higher, which is the way guitar music is normally notated.
You have the option to enter your own setting in semitones.
Clefs Split at
The “Clefs Split” at setting determines the split point for placing notes on the Bass or Treble clef. The default
setting is C5, which is middle C. For example, you can use a higher split point, such as C6 if you want some notes
up to a G above middle C to be displayed on the bass clef with ledger lines instead of on the treble clef. If the split
point is above middle C, and a note in the music is high enough that any of the ledger lines above the bass clef
would overwrite the treble clef, the note will be placed on the treble clef.
